Re: Curtains Hand 1

How does Curtains have 5BB? I thought the blinds were 50/100.

Re: Bad strategy or good?

Why do you people keep saying he shouldn't raise AJs from the button? Especially at the 50/100 blind level. Because of the limper? I'd probably open push here.

The original poster specifically mentioned that we were talking about raises in general, not just pushes.

Question about hand ranges & equity (calling vs. raising, yada yada)

Now, we know (at least, I hope we all know), that certain hands have different equity depending on whether or not you're facing a raise, or raising. As an example, KQs vs ATo from the button.
